Blueberry Coffee Cake

 Not only did I get to make this from blueberries we actually grew in our garden but Chris said it was one of the five best things I've ever made! 


Cake:

2 cups flour

1 cup sugar

1 TBSP baking powder

3/4 tsp salt

5 TBSP butter, softened

3/4 cup buttermilk or thin yogurt

1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla

lemon zest

2 cups fresh blueberries

Cream butter, lemon zest and sugar. Add egg and vanilla. 

Mix dry ingredients together in small bowl with whisk. Remove a spoonful of the flour mixture and toss into blueberries.

Add half of flour mixture into creamed butter and egg. Mix in buttermilk. Then mix in rest of flour. Fold in blueberries. 

Pour into greased and sugared square baking pan. 

Bake at 375 for 55-60 minutes, or until pick comes clean. 

Immediately start making streusel topping and put on top of cake as soon as it is ready. Then continue baking.

Streusel: 

1/3 cup each: flour, sugar and brown sugar

 lemon zest

5 TBSP butter, softened

Cut butter into remaining ingredients.

Cool cake on rack until it's cool enough to drizzle on glaze.

Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

pinch salt

1/4 tsp vanilla

5 tsp lemon juice

Eat slightly warm.
